Pretends to be Guru of Lotus
But groping around
The ladies soon found
The Jester of rude Hocus Pocus...

Hocus-pocus, modus ponens,
“Knowledge” boosts your serotonins:
If your case has come unglued,
Wave your hands to save your mood....

All other than serious verse, bogus;
He doesn’t believe in any hocus- pocus.
Ideals! He’d never drop;
But see the funny flip- flop,
Finally, limerick is his focus....

Is it just me or A.D.D.
Can’t stay on top of things

When the sermon gets long
I mentally write a poem

I must fight to stay focused
Least the devil do hocus pocus...

They waited 300 years to the day
For a virgin’s dumb fingers first to lay
	Upon the dark candle
	And light its black mantle
The witches are back – now there’s Hell to pay

Hodgepodge of high-brow, hoity-toity happy hogs
Happened upon a wagonload of St Bernard dogs
In a hocus-pocus way they turned them into logs
You do not fool with a witch’s razorbacks in these bogs....

I found a book of ancient spells
It’s hard to read and it smells
I found it at a German bookstore
“My current meal is such a bore,
so this spell I scream and shout
give me a heaping wad of sauerkraut”...

put a spell on me now
as I know it somehow

external forces
internal course

wish him deed
did your nurse said

mexican houses
hocus pocus

and the suit
like a quilt

Pattersun

HUBBLE TROUBLE

Maybe it’s magic or hocus-pocus
Some kind of spell is cast on me
A telescope in space, who knew
It takes a while to adjust the view
Earth orbit, not yet interplanetary
But images I see are out of focus...

handsome Harry hastily harnessed hazardous hayseed Hank
heightening his hellish heebie-jeebies.
Hank helped Harry handle hordes of high-spirited hitchhikers
heaping a hodgepodge of hocus pocus on Honey,
Hannibal’s handsomest hog...

Looking back the mind can focus
 on the mix and match hocus pocus
 but the heart alone can see 
 the future you and me.

not attention on prison 
Someone attentive to durk
like a woodsmen shirt 
what a jerk
I got same play anyway 
got the same old score 
and I do the same old thing 
you know me well
you sure as hell pick up on dirt
and you sure as hell know durk...

I caught a draft
In the Cenotaph,
Honoring a dead man
Who was not there

The clergy saw me shiver,
Got me a chair,
The ceremony went on
And I died right there

Well at least I provided
The funeral focus
Although, for years,
There were rumors
Of Hocus-Pocus...

No need for broken records,
Soon yesterday's news,
We must stay resolved,
To practice our hocus pocus,
For goodness' sake,
Prayers for peace unite,
Champions, reach for the stars,
Building better tomorrows, 
To young, we pass the baton,
But still alive and kicking!...

They say it's only
Hocus Pocus but
Halloween is our focus
Haunted house creepy
Ghost what do you
Like the most
Enchanted broomstick
In the mist oh how
I wish October was here
Because anything You
Think of will Appear
The Phantom Is here
To give you a fright
Good night...

Eerily eager evil enigma elevated eleven renaming egg land.

Meager minis liked their initial idea eggplant ready.

Beefily blatantly weird in a diddly extra wiggly way.

I was ready, reved, relieved and willing my elevated eight.

black anklet twelve will enter evil eggland...

Our Internets connected that day 
Conversations went wild as the wind 
Cool, calm and collected 
Detached and unaffected 
Then you entered..... 
Centering your focus 
Yes just like magic 
Pure hocus-pocus 
My precious love I give 
To thee 
From now until infinity 
You rewind my mind to a 
Love beyond time...

Heads bowed, eyes focused,
The magic of the Hocus Pocus. 
Transfixed, in a spell
Nothing else will they dwell.
Walking around zombified
Surely brains, have been fried.
Life ruined, no conversation,
Texting now the inspiration.
Grasp of language, long forgotten,
Shortened text – yuk, it’s rotten,
GR8, LOL, TLC, OMDB,
Worlds gone mad, OMG!!...
